Abstract
Osteoporosis after bariatric surgery is an increasing health concern as the rate of bariatric surgery has risen. In animal studies mimicking bariatric procedures, bone disease, together with decreased serum levels of Ca2+, Mg2+ and the gastric hormone Ghrelin were described. Ghrelin regulates metabolism by binding to and activating the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR) which is also expressed in the kidney. As calcium and magnesium are key components of bone, we tested the hypothesis that Ghrelin-deficiency contributes to osteoporosis via reduced upregulation of the renal calcium channel TRPV5 and the heteromeric magnesium channel TRPM6/7. We expressed GHSR with TRPV5 or TRPM6/7 channel in HEK293 cells and treated them with purified Ghrelin. Whole-cell current density was analyzed by patch-clamp recording. Nephron-specific gene expression was performed by tubular microdissection followed by qPCR in wild-type (WT) mice, and immunofluorescent imaging of GHSR-eGFP mice. Tubular magnesium homeostasis was analyzed in GHSR-null and WT mice at baseline and after caloric restriction. After Ghrelin exposure, whole-cell current density did not change for TRPV5 but increased for TRPM6/7 in a dose-dependent fashion. Applying the Ghrelin-mimetic (D-Trp7, Ala8,D-Phe10)-α-MSH (6-11) amide without and with the GHSR antagonist (D-Lys3)-GHRP6, we confirmed the stimulatory role of Ghrelin towards TRPM6/7. As GHSR initiates downstream signaling via protein kinase A (PKA), we found that the PKA inhibitor H89 abrogated TRPM6/7 stimulation by Ghrelin. Similarly, transfected Gαs, but not the Gαs mutant Q227L, nor Gαi2, Gαq, or Gα13 upregulated TRPM6/7 current density. In microdissected TALs and DCTs similar levels of GHSR mRNA were detected. In contrast, TRPM6 mRNA was expressed in the DCT and also detected in the TAL at 25% expression compared to DCT. Immunofluorescent studies using reporter GHSR-eGFP mice showed a strong eGFP signal in the TAL but surprisingly displayed no eGFP signal in the DCT. In 3-, 6-, and 9-month-old GHSR-null and WT mice, baseline serum magnesium was not significantly different, but 24-h urinary magnesium excretion was elevated in 9-month-old GHSR-null mice. In calorically restricted GHSR-null mice, we detected excess urinary magnesium excretion and reduced serum magnesium levels compared to WT mice. The kidneys from calorically restricted WT mice showed upregulated gene expression of magnesiotropic genes Hnf1b, Cldn-16, Cldn-19, Fxyd-2b, and Parvalbumin compared to GHSR-null mice. Our in vitro studies show that Ghrelin stimulates TRPM6/7 via GHSR and Gαs-PKA signaling. The murine studies are consistent with Ghrelin-GHSR signaling inducing reduced urinary magnesium excretion, particularly in calorically restricted mice when Ghrelin levels are elevated. This effect may be mediated by Ghrelin-upregulation of TRPM6 in the TAL and/or upregulation of other magnesiotropic genes. We postulate that rising Ghrelin levels with hunger contribute to increased renal Mg2+ reabsorption to compensate for lack of enteral Mg2+ uptake.

Abstract
There has been a major increase in Type 2 diabetes and obesity in many countries, and this will lead to a global public health crisis, which not only impacts on the quality of life of individuals well but also places a substantial burden on healthcare systems and economies. Obesity is linked to not only to type 2 diabetes but also cardiovascular diseases, musculoskeletal disorders, and certain cancers, also resulting in increased medical costs and diminished quality of life. A number of studies have linked changes in gut in obesity development. Dysbiosis, a deleterious change in gut microbiota composition, leads to altered intestinal permeability, associated with obesity and Type 2 diabetes. Many factors affect the homeostasis of gut microbiota, including diet, genetics, circadian rhythms, medication, probiotics, and antibiotics. In addition, bariatric surgery induces changes in gut microbiota that contributes to the metabolic benefits observed post-surgery. Current obesity management strategies encompass dietary interventions, exercise, pharmacotherapy, and bariatric surgery, with emerging treatments including microbiota-altering approaches showing promising efficacy. While pharmacotherapy has demonstrated significant advancements in recent years, bariatric surgery remains one of the most effective treatments for sustainable weight loss. However, access to this is generally limited to those living with severe obesity. This underscores the need for non-surgical interventions, particularly for adolescents and mildly obese patients. In this comprehensive review, we assess longitudinal alterations in gut microbiota composition and functionality resulting from the two currently most effective anti-obesity treatments: pharmacotherapy and bariatric surgery. Additionally, we highlight the functions of gut microbiota, focusing on specific bacteria, their metabolites, and strategies for modulating gut microbiota to prevent and treat obesity. This review aims to provide insights into the evolving landscape of obesity management and the potential of microbiota-based approaches in addressing this pressing global health challenge.

Abstract
Obesity remains a common metabolic disorder and a threat to health as it is associated with numerous complications. Lifestyle modifications and caloric restriction can achieve limited weight loss. Bariatric surgery is an effective way of achieving substantial weight loss as well as glycemic control secondary to weight-related type 2 diabetes mellitus. It has been suggested that an anorexigenic gut hormone response following bariatric surgery contributes to weight loss. Understanding the changes in gut hormones and their contribution to weight loss physiology can lead to new therapeutic treatments for weight loss. Two distinct types of neurons in the arcuate hypothalamic nuclei control food intake: proopiomelanocortin neurons activated by the anorexigenic (satiety) hormones and neurons activated by the orexigenic peptides that release neuropeptide Y and agouti-related peptide (hunger centre). The arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus integrates hormonal inputs from the gut and adipose tissue (the anorexigenic hormones cholecystokinin, polypeptide YY, glucagon-like peptide-1, oxyntomodulin, leptin, and others) and orexigeneic peptides (ghrelin). Replicating the endocrine response to bariatric surgery through pharmacological mimicry holds promise for medical treatment. Obesity has genetic and environmental factors. New advances in genetic testing have identified both monogenic and polygenic obesity-related genes. Understanding the function of genes contributing to obesity will increase insights into the biology of obesity. This review includes the physiology of appetite control, the influence of genetics on obesity, and the changes that occur following bariatric surgery. This has the potential to lead to the development of more subtle, individualised, treatments for obesity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Changes in the gastrointestinal physiology after bariatric surgery may affect the pharmacokinetics of medications. Data on the impact of different surgical techniques on the pharmacokinetics of commonly prescribed antidepressants such as escitalopram are limited. METHODS This case-only prospective study investigated escitalopram-treated patients who underwent bariatric surgery at hospitals in Central Norway. Escitalopram concentrations were assessed using serial blood samples obtained during a dose interval of 24 hours preoperatively and at 1, 6, and 12 months, postoperatively. The primary outcomes were changes in the area under the time-concentration curve (AUC 0-24 ) with secondary outcomes, including full pharmacokinetic profiling. We performed repeated-measures analysis of variance for the AUC 0-24 and secondary outcomes. RESULTS Escitalopram-treated obese patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy (n = 5) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (n = 4) were included. Compared with preoperative baseline, dose-adjusted AUC 0-24 values were within ±20% at all time points, postoperatively in the sleeve gastrectomy and oux-en-Y gastric bypass groups, with the largest changes occurring 1 month postoperatively (+14.5 and +17.2%, respectively). No statistically significant changes in any pharmacokinetic variables over time were reported; however, there was a trend toward increased maximum concentrations after surgery ( P = 0.069). CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that bariatric surgery has no systematic effect on the pharmacokinetics of escitalopram. However, because of the substantial interindividual variation, therapeutic drug monitoring can be considered to guide postoperative dose adjustments.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Protein leverage (PL) is the phenomenon whereby a dominant appetite for protein drives overconsumption of energy with a decline in the ratio of protein to fat and carbohydrate in the diet. PL has been independently verified in several randomized control trials, and its predictions are supported by diet surveillance data. Our aim in the present study was to test whether surgical intervention through gastric bypass will ameliorate the PL effect. METHODS Ten patients with gastric bypass (2-5 years postsurgical time) were given ad libitum access to study food comprising 10%, 15%, or 25% protein and no access to other foods for 3 days while controlling food palatability and variety. Food intake was measured, and energy and nutrient intakes were calculated. Body weight, blood chemistry, lipid profile, hormones (insulin, leptin, and ghrelin), and creatinine were determined before and after each experimental period. RESULTS The gastric bypass patients in our study did not show evidence for protein intake regulation as predicted under PL but ate to constant total energy intake on the 10%, 15%, and 25% protein diets with protein intake varying significantly. Patients lost weight in the three study periods, but significant weight loss was observed only on the 15% protein diet. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that gastric bypass might disengage the PL mechanism, thus ameliorating an appetite-specific mechanism that drives energy overconsumption in modern food environments.

Abstract
The comprehensive anabolic effects of insulin throughout the body, in addition to the control of glycemia, include ensuring lipid homeostasis and anti-inflammatory modulation, especially in adipose tissue (AT). The prevalence of obesity, defined as a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2, has been increasing worldwide on a pandemic scale with accompanying syndemic health problems, including glucose intolerance, insulin resistance (IR), and diabetes. Impaired tissue sensitivity to insulin or IR paradoxically leads to diseases with an inflammatory component despite hyperinsulinemia. Therefore, an excess of visceral AT in obesity initiates chronic low-grade inflammatory conditions that interfere with insulin signaling via insulin receptors (INSRs). Moreover, in response to IR, hyperglycemia itself stimulates a primarily defensive inflammatory response associated with the subsequent release of numerous inflammatory cytokines and a real threat of organ function deterioration. In this review, all components of this vicious cycle are characterized with particular emphasis on the interplay between insulin signaling and both the innate and adaptive immune responses related to obesity. Increased visceral AT accumulation in obesity should be considered the main environmental factor responsible for the disruption in the epigenetic regulatory mechanisms in the immune system, resulting in autoimmunity and inflammation.

Abstract
Background
Although the effectiveness and safety of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) have been demonstrated, there is still debate about the best surgical method, with the resection distance from pylorus (DP) being among the most contentious topics. In patients who had LSG for morbid obesity, the effect of the resection distance from the pylorus on the management of type II diabetes mellitus during the postoperative phase was examined.
Patients and methods
After receiving each patient’s agreement, a total of 46 obese individuals were enrolled. Patients were prospectively randomized into two groups, group A (‘AP group’) and group B (‘AR group’), based on the distance between the initial reload firing and the pylorus (4 cm for group A and 2 cm for group B, respectively). Blood sugar levels were measured three, six months, and one year following LSG. After a year of follow-up, the percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL) was calculated.
Results
Postoperative weight was statistically significant lower and EWL% was statistically significant higher in group B: LSG ‘2 cm’ compared to group A: LSG ‘4 cm’. As regard outcomes of type 2 diabetes mellitus after LSG, in spite of nonsignificant statistical value, we reported that there was higher frequency of complete remission after 3, 6 and 12 months in group B: LSG ‘2 cm’ compared to group A: LSG ‘4 cm’ and cases with complete remission were associated with significant higher EWL%.
Conclusion
Patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy are recommended to have shorter resection distance from pylorus (DP) done. It has been linked to superior surgical results, weight reduction, and diabetes mellitus management with no problems recorded.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, bloating, abdominal pain, and nausea are common after bariatric surgery (BS) and can lead to significant morbidity. While many diagnoses can explain these symptoms, post-bariatric exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) is becoming increasingly recognized as contributor to gastrointestinal symptoms. The frequency and outcomes of EPI after BS are not well understood. We investigated the prevalence and outcomes of EPI over 18 years at a tertiary bariatric referral center. METHODS A retrospective review of patients who underwent primary or revisional BS from 2002 to 2020 was performed. Patients were included if they were suspected of having EPI or underwent fecal elastase testing (FE-1). EPI diagnosis was defined as positive FE-1 testing or improvement with empiric pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT). RESULTS EPI was suspected in 261 patients, and 190 were tested via FE-1 (89.5%) or empirically treated (10.5%). EPI was diagnosed in 79 (41.6%) patients and was associated with older age and lower BMI. Therapeutic PERT was given to 65 patients diagnosed with EPI, and 56 (86.2%) patients reported improved symptoms. Patients who underwent RYGB and BPD-DS were more likely to have EPI than those after SG (47.9% and 70.0% vs 17.4%, p < 0.01). EPI diagnosis was associated with a history chronic pancreatitis. While diarrhea and abdominal pain were the most common symptoms prompting FE-1 testing, no symptoms were significantly associated with EPI. EPI was also associated with abnormal fecal fat results and treatment with bile acid sequestrants, but not small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. CONCLUSION This study highlights that exocrine pancreatic insufficiency can account to for previously unexplained GI complaints after bariatric surgery. Therefore, bariatric surgery programs should consider this diagnosis in symptomatic patients, especially following RYGB and BPD-DS. Further work to define patient factors that should prompt evaluation, optimal treatment, and prevention is necessary.

Abstract
Obesity prevalence is rising globally, as are the number of chronic disorders connected with obesity, such as diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. Bariatric surgery is also becoming more common, and it remains the most effective and long-term treatment for obesity. This study will assess the influence of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) on gut microbiota in people with obesity before and after surgery. The findings shed new light on the changes in gut microbiota in Saudi people with obesity following LSG. In conclusion, LSG may improve the metabolic profile, resulting in decreased fat mass and increased lean mass, as well as improving the microbial composition balance in the gastrointestinal tract, but this is still not equivalent to normal weight microbiology. A range of factors, including patient characteristics, geographic dispersion, type of operation, technique, and nutritional and caloric restriction, could explain differences in abundance between studies. This information could point to a novel and, most likely, tailored strategy in obesity therapy, which could eventually be incorporated into health evaluations and monitoring in preventive health care or clinical medicine.

Protein Supplementation with Short Peptides Prevents Early Muscle Mass Loss after Roux-en-Y-Gastric Bypass. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14235095. [PMID: 36501125 PMCID: PMC9736680 DOI: 10.3390/nu14235095] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2022] [Revised: 11/23/2022] [Accepted: 11/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction: A significant reduction in fat-free mass (FFM) following bariatric surgery (BS) has been reported, and adequate protein intake is recommended for FFM preservation. Current guidelines of nutritional management after BS recommend complex protein (CP) compounds. However, Roux-en-Y-gastric bypass (RYGB) has a negative impact on CP digestion, leading to protein malabsorption. At present, there is no data regarding the impact of early supplementation with short peptide-based (SPB) or hydroxy methylbutyrate (HMB)-enriched formulas on the evolution of the FFM after the BS. Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of nutritional products based on CP, HBM-enriched, or SPB formulas on the FFM of patients that undergo RYGB. Material and methods: This is a prospective interventional study, including three groups of patients (according to the type of protein product) as candidates for BS, recruited between December 2021 and April 2022, matched by age, gender, and BMI. All patients underwent evaluations at baseline and one month post-BS, including: medical history, physical and anthropometric evaluation, bioimpedance, and biochemical analysis. Results: A total of 60 patients were recruited: 63% women, mean age 43.13 ± 9.4 years, and BMI 43.57 ± 4.1 kg/m2. The % of FFM loss from total weight loss (TWL) was significantly lower in the SPB group than CP and HMB groups despite the major %TWL in this group (40.60 ± 17.27 in CP, 34.57 ± 13.15 in HMB, and 19.14 ± 9.38 in SPB, p < 0.001). TWL% was 9.98 ± 1.82 vs. 9.83 ± 2.71 vs. 13.56 ± 4.30, p < 0.001, respectively. Conclusion: In our study, the SPB supplementation prevented almost 50% FFM lost from the TWL than the CP- or HMB-enriched compounds at one month post-BS. These results are significant in the setting of muscle mass preservation after the BS, and have the potential to change the current guidelines for the management of nutritional supplementation after BS.

The Implication of Gastric Microbiome in the Treatment of Gastric Cancer. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14082039. [PMID: 35454944 PMCID: PMC9028069 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14082039] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2022] [Revised: 04/11/2022] [Accepted: 04/12/2022] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Gastric cancer (GC) represents the fifth most common cancer worldwide. Recent developments in PCR and metagenomics clarify that the stomach contains a powerful microbiota. Conventional treatments for GC that include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy are not very effective. That’s why new therapeutic strategies are needed. The intestinal microbiota is involved in oncogenesis and cancer prevention, and the effectiveness of chemotherapy. Recent studies have shown that certain bacteria may enhance the effect of some traditional antineoplastic drugs and immunotherapies. Abstract Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common and deadly malignancies worldwide. Helicobacter pylori have been documented as a risk factor for GC. The development of sequencing technology has broadened the knowledge of the gastric microbiome, which is essential in maintaining homeostasis. Recent studies have demonstrated the involvement of the gastric microbiome in the development of GC. Therefore, the elucidation of the mechanism by which the gastric microbiome contributes to the development and progression of GC may improve GC’s prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. In this review, we discuss the current knowledge about changes in gastric microbial composition in GC patients, their role in carcinogenesis, the possible therapeutic role of the gastric microbiome, and its implications for current GC therapy.

Abstract
The most common endocrine disease in obesity is hypothyroidism and secondary endocrine alterations, including abnormal thyroid function, are frequent in obesity. It is unclear whether impaired thyroid function is the cause or the consequence of increased adiposity; furthermore, there are no clear data regarding the best way to dose levothyroxine for patients with both hypothyroidism and obesity, and the effect of bariatric surgery (BS). The aim of the present article is to review some controversial aspects of the relation between obesity and the thyroid: (1) Thyroid function in obesity and the effect of BS (2) Thyroid hormone treatment (THT) in obese patients with hypothyroidism and the effect of BS. In summary: In morbidly obese patients, TSH is moderately increased. Morbid obesity has a mild central resistance to the thyroid hormone, reversible with weight loss. In morbidly obese hypothyroid patients, following weight loss, the levothyroxine dose/kg of ideal weight did not change, albeit there was an increment in the levothyroxine dose/kg of actual weight. From a clinical practice perspective, in morbid obesity, diagnosing mild hypothyroidism is difficult, BS improves the altered thyroid function and THT can be adapted better if it is based on ideal weight.

Abstract
The most frequent endocrine disease in obese patients is hypothyroidism. To date, there are no clear data regarding what happens to the dose of levothyroxine (LT4) after bariatric surgery (BS). The objective of the present study was to evaluate thyroid hormone replacement dose in morbidly obese hypothyroid patients after BS-induced weight loss. We explore the best type of measured or estimated body weight for LT4 dosing. We performed an observational study evaluating patients with morbid obesity and hypothyroidism who underwent BS. We included 48 patients (three men). In morbidly obese hypothyroid patients 12 months after BS-induced weight loss, the total LT4 dose or the LT4 dose/kg ideal body weight did not change, while there was a significant increase in LT4 dose/body surface area, LT4 dose/kg weight, LT4 dose/kg adjusted body weight, LT4 dose/kg body fat, and LT4 dose/kg lean body weight. There were no differences in LT4 dose and its variation between sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). The present study strongly suggests that LT4 dosing in obese hypothyroid patients can be individually adapted more precisely if it is based on ideal body weight.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This study aims to discuss the mechanisms by which GLP-1 agonists and bariatric surgery improve cardiovascular outcomes in severely obese patients. RECENT FINDINGS Recent studies have demonstrated that both GLP-1 agonist use and bariatric surgery reduce adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Improvements in traditional atherosclerosis risk factors in association with weight loss likely contribute, but weight loss-independent mechanisms are also suggested to have roles. We review the clinical and preclinical evidence base for cardiovascular benefit of LP-1 agonists and bariatric surgery beyond traditional risk factors, including improvements in endothelial function, direct impacts on atherosclerotic plaques, and anti-inflammatory effects.

Exocrine pancreatic function and dynamic of digestion after restrictive and malabsorptive bariatric surgery: a prospective, cross-sectional, and comparative study. Surg Obes Relat Dis 2021; 17:1766-1772.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal anatomical changes after restrictive and malabsorptive bariatric surgery lead to important disturbances in the process of digestion and absorption of nutrients and could lead to exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to evaluate and to compare pancreatic function and the dynamic of digestion and absorption of nutrients after restrictive and malabsorptive bariatric surgical procedures. SETTING University Hospital of Santiago de Compostela, Santiago de Compostela, Spain. METHODS A prospective, observational, cross-sectional, comparative study of patients after sleeve gastrectomy (SG), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD/DS) was carried out. Patients with obesity who did not undergo surgery were included as control group. Pancreatic function and the dynamic of digestion and absorption of nutrients were evaluated by the 13C-mixed triglyceride (13C-MTG) breath test. Six-hour 13C-cumulative recovery rate (13C-CRR), 13C exhalation peak, and 1-hour maximal 13C-CRR were calculated. RESULTS One-hundred five patients were included (mean age, 49.8 yr; 84 women). Six-hour 13C-CRR was significantly reduced after BPD/DS (P < .001) but not after SG and RYGB. EPI was present in 75% of patients after BPD/DS, 8.3% of patients after RYGB, and 4.3% of patients after SG. Compared with the control group who did not undergo surgery, digestion and absorption of nutrients tended to occur earlier after SG, whereas it was delayed after RYGB and mainly after BPD/DS (P < .001). CONCLUSION Bariatric surgery significantly alters the dynamic of the digestive process. EPI is very common after BPD/DS, frequent after RYGB, and less frequent after SG. This information is clinically relevant since EPI is a treatable condition associated with symptoms, nutritional deficiencies, and complications.

Abstract
Diet is a modifiable factor that ensures optimal growth, biochemical performance, improved mood and mental functioning. Lack of nutrients, notably vitamin B, has an impact on human health and wellbeing. The United Arab Emirates is facing a serious problem of micronutrient deficiencies because of the growing trend for bariatric surgery, including Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy. People undergoing bariatric surgery are at high risk of developing neurological, cognitive, and mental disabilities and cardiovascular disease due to deficiency in vitamin B. Vitamin B is involved in neurotransmitter synthesis, including γ-aminobutyric acid, serotonin, dopamine, and noradrenaline. Deficiency of vitamin B increases the risk of depression, anxiety, dementia and Alzheimer's disease. In addition, vitamin B deficiency can disrupt the methylation of homocysteine, leading to hyperhomocysteinemia. Elevated homocysteine levels are detrimental to human health. Vitamin B deficiency also suppresses immune function, increases the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and upregulates NF-κB. Considering the important functions of vitamin B and the severe consequences associated with its deficiency following bariatric surgery, proper dietary intervention and administration of adequate supplements should be considered to prevent negative clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Introduction: Bariatric surgery is an effective method of treatment for morbid obesity that is known to change nutritional habits. Proper nutrition has an impact on postoperative recovery and outcomes. Diet preferences depend on flavour and olfaction stimuli. Some studies show long-term changes in the sense of smell after bariatric surgery, but little research has addressed olfactory function shortly after surgery. Observations of olfactory changes that occur immediately after bariatric surgery may lead to improvements in postoperative care. Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of bariatric surgery on olfactory changes in the short postoperative period. Material and methods: This is a prospective study of patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) between April 2018 and December 2018. The control group consists of patients who underwent various non-oncological elective surgical procedures. Patients’ olfaction was tested qualitatively and quantitatively the day before and 24 h after surgery. Sniffin Sticks test consists of three subtests: odor threshold, discrimination, and identification. Results: The study enrolled 83 patients (LSG = 39; LRYGB = 14; control = 30). Mean scores in the threshold subtest differed significantly in the bariatric group, 9.3 ± 3.9 before the surgery and 8.2 ± 3.0 a day after the surgery (p = 0.032). There were no significant differences between scores from the discrimination subtest, identification subtest and the mean total scores in the bariatric group. There was no observed change in the intensity of the smell in the control group. Analyzing the results of patients undergoing LSG and LRYGB separately, we only showed significant differences in the case of LSG. Mean score from the 1st test (9.12 ± 3.97 vs. 7.75 ± 2.98; p = 0.0339) and mean total score (32.83 ± 5.45 vs. 30.67 ± 4.88; p = 0.0173) differ between repetitive measurements in LSG patients. Conclusions: Our study shows deterioration of odor threshold in the bariatric surgery group compared to the control group 24 h after surgery. However, this change occurred only in patients undergoing LSG.

Abstract
Adaptive thermogenesis (AT) has been proposed to be a compensatory response that may resist weight loss (WL) and promote weight regain. This systematic review examined the existence of AT in adults after a period of negative energy balance (EB) with or without a weight stabilisation phase. Studies published until 15 May 2020 were identified from PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, MEDLINE, SCOPUS and Web of Science. Inclusion criteria included statistically significant WL, observational with follow-up or experimental studies, age > 18y, sample size ≥10 participants, intervention period ≥ 1week, published in English, objective measures of total daily energy expenditure (EE) (TDEE), resting EE (REE) and sleeping EE(SEE). The systematic review was registered at PROSPERO (2020 CRD42020165348). A total of thirty-three studies comprising 2528 participants were included. AT was observed in twenty-seven studies. Twenty-three studies showed significant values for AT for REE (82·8 %), four for TDEE (80·0 %) and two for SEE (100 %). A large heterogeneity in the methods used to quantify AT and between subjects and among studies regarding the magnitude of WL and/or of AT was reported. Well-designed studies reported lower or non-significant values for AT. These findings suggest that although WL may lead to AT in some of the EE components, these values may be small or non-statistically significant when higher-quality methodological designs are used. Furthermore, AT seems to be attenuated, or non-existent, after periods of weight stabilisation/neutral EB. More high-quality studies are warranted not only to disclose the existence of AT but also to understand its clinical implications on weight management outcomes.

[PMID: 33839048 DOI: 10.1016/j.soard.2021.02.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2020] [Revised: 02/01/2021] [Accepted: 02/27/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Many health benefits of bariatric surgery are known and well-studied, but there is scarce data on the benefits of bariatric surgery on the thyroid function. OBJECTIVE We aimed to make a meta-analysis regarding the impact of bariatric surgery on thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels, levothyroxine dose, and the status of subclinical hypothyroidism. SETTING Systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library were searched up to December 2020 for relevant clinical studies. Random-effects model was used to pool results. Network meta-analysis was performed, incorporating direct and indirect comparisons among different types of bariatric surgery. Meta-regression analysis was performed to evaluate the impact of moderator variables on TSH levels and required levothyroxine dose after surgery. We followed the PRISMA guidelines for data selection and extraction. PROSPERO registry number: CRD42018105739. RESULTS A total of 28 studies involving 1284 patients were included. There was a statistically significant decrease in TSH levels after bariatric surgery (mean difference = -1.66 mU/L, 95%CI [-2.29, -1.03], P < .0001). In meta-regression analysis, we found that the following moderator variables: length of follow-up, mean age, baseline TSH, and preoperative thyroid function, could explain 1%, 43%, 68%, and 88% of the between-study variance, respectively. Furthermore, subclinical hypothyroidism was completely resolved in 87% of patients following bariatric surgery. In addition, there was a statistically significant decrease of levothyroxine dose in frank hypothyroid patients following bariatric surgery (mean difference = -13.20 mcg/d, 95%CI [-19.69, -6.71]). In network meta-analysis, we found that discontinuing or decreasing levothyroxine dose was significant following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, 1 anastomosis gastric bypass, and sleeve gastrectomy, (OR = 31.02, 95%CI [10.34, 93.08]), (OR = 41.73, 95%CI [2.04, 854.69]), (OR = 104.03, 95%CI [35.79, 302.38]), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Based on our meta-analysis, bariatric surgery is associated with the resolution of subclinical hypothyroidism, a decrease in TSH levels, and a decrease in levothyroxine dose.

A Subset of Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Bacterial Consortium Colonizes the Gut of Nonsurgical Rats without Inducing Host-Microbe Metabolic Changes. mSystems 2020; 5:e01047-20.

Abstract
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is an effective weight loss surgery, resulting in a characteristic increase of fecal Gammaproteobacteria The contribution of this compositional change to metabolic benefits of RYGB is currently debatable. Therefore, this study employed 16S rRNA gene sequencing and metabolic profiling to monitor the dynamic colonization of the RYGB microbial consortium and their metabolic impact on the host. Eleven Wistar rats received vancomycin and enrofloxacin, followed by fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) of cecal slurry obtained from either RYGB- or sham-operated rats. Urine and feces from the microbiota recipients (RYGB microbiota recipients [RYGBr], n = 6; sham microbiota recipients [SHAMr], n = 5) were collected pre- and post-antibiotics and 1, 3, 6, 9, and 16 days post-FMT. No significant differences in body weight and food intake were observed between RYGBr and SHAMr. While neither group reached the community richness of that of their donors, by day 6, both groups reached the richness and diversity of that prior to antibiotic treatment. However, the typical signature of RYGB microbiome-increased Enterobacteriaceae-was not replicated in these recipients after two consecutive FMT, suggesting that the environmental changes induced by the anatomical rearrangements of RYGB could be key for sustaining such a consortium. The transplanted bacteria did not induce the same metabolic signature of urine and feces as those previously reported in RYGB-operated rats. Future work is required to explore environmental factors that shape the RYGB microbiota in order to further investigate the metabolic functions of the RYGB microbiota, thereby teasing out the mechanisms of the RYGB surgery.IMPORTANCE Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery results in a long-term gut bacterial shift toward Gammaproteobacteria in both patients and rodents. The contribution of this compositional shift, or the RYGB bacterial consortium, to the metabolic benefit of the surgery remains debatable. It is unclear how well these bacteria colonize in an anatomically normal gut. This is a fundamental question in both defining the function of the RYGB microbiota and evaluating its potential as a nonsurgical treatment for obesity. We monitored the dynamic colonization of the RYGB bacterial consortium and observed that while approximately one-third of the bacterial taxa from the RYGB donor colonized in the gut of the nonoperated recipients, Gammaproteobacteria were unable to colonize for longer than 3 days. The study highlighted that a successful long-term colonization of Gammaproteobacteria-rich RYGB microbiota in nonsurgical animals requires key environmental factors that may be dictated by the intestinal anatomical modification by the surgery itself.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy was recently described as an effective approach for the operative treatment of obesity, but the ideal procedure remains controversial. One of the most debated issues is the resection distance from the pylorus. We conducted this study to elucidate any potential differences in the short-term outcomes between 2 and 6 cm distance from the pylorus in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. METHODS A prospective observational cohort study in a selected cohort of 96 patients was conducted from January 2018 to March 2019 in morbidly obese patients who had laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy performed at Suez Canal University Hospital. Outcome was expressed by excess weight loss percentage, resolution of comorbidities, improvement of quality of life, and incidence of complications after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. The morbidly obese patients (body mass index [BMI] > 40 kg/m2 or > 35 kg/m2 with obesity-related comorbidities) in the study were divided into two equal groups: (1) Group 1 (48 patients) underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy with a 2 cm distance from the pylorus resection distance and (2) Group 2 (48 patients) underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy with a 6 cm distance from the pylorus resection distance. Body weight, BMI, bariatric quality of life, lipid profile, and comorbidities were evaluated pre- and post-operatively for a duration of 12 months. RESULTS Statistically, no significant differences between the two study groups regarding the excess weight loss percentage, comorbidity resolution throughout the postoperative follow-up, enhancement of the quality of life score throughout the postoperative follow-up, or incidence of complications (25% in Group 1 versus 25% in Group 2, p > 0.05) were found. CONCLUSION Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy was an effective and safe management for morbid obesity and obesity-related comorbidities with significant short-term weight loss; it also improved weight-related quality of life and had an acceptable complication rate. The distance from the pylorus resection distance did not affect the short-term effects of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy regarding excess weight loss percentage, resolution of comorbidities, change in quality of life, or occurrence of complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Recent evidence points to the gut microbiome's involvement in postoperative outcomes, including after gastrectomy. Here, we investigated the influence of gastrectomy for gastric cancer on the gut microbiome and metabolome, and how it related to postgastrectomy conditions. DESIGN We performed shotgun metagenomics sequencing and capillary electrophoresis time-of-flight mass spectrometry-based metabolomics analyses on faecal samples collected from participants with a history of gastrectomy for gastric cancer (n=50) and compared them with control participants (n=56). RESULTS The gut microbiota in the gastrectomy group showed higher species diversity and richness (p<0.05), together with greater abundance of aerobes, facultative anaerobes and oral microbes. Moreover, bile acids such as genotoxic deoxycholic acid and branched-chain amino acids were differentially abundant between the two groups (linear discriminant analysis (LDA) effect size (LEfSe): p<0.05, q<0.1, LDA>2.0), as were also Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes modules involved in nutrient transport and organic compounds biosynthesis (LEfSe: p<0.05, q<0.1, LDA>2.0). CONCLUSION Our results reveal alterations of gut microbiota after gastrectomy, suggesting its association with postoperative comorbidities. The multi-omic approach applied in this study could complement the follow-up of patients after gastrectomy.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Given the complex relationship between body mass index, body composition, and bone density and the correlative nature of the studies that have established the prevailing notion that higher body mass indices may be protective against osteopenia and osteoporosis and, therefore, fracture, the absolute risk of fracture in patients with severe obesity who undergo either Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) or sleeve gastrectomy (SG) compared with those who do not undergo bariatric surgery is unknown. OBJECTIVE To assess the rates of fractures associated with obesity and compare rates between those who do not undergo bariatric surgery, those who undergo RYGB, and those who undergo SG. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS In this retrospective multicenter cohort study of Medicare Standard Analytic Files derived from Medicare parts A and B records from January 2004 to December 2014, patients classified as eligible for bariatric surgery using the US Centers of Medicare & Medicaid criteria who either did not undergo bariatric surgery or underwent RYGB or SG were exactly matched in a 1:1 fashion based on their age, sex, Elixhauser Comorbidity Index, hypertension, smoking status, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, hyperlipidemia, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and obstructive sleep apnea status. Data were analyzed from November to December 2019. EXPOSURES RYGB or SG. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcome measured in this study was the odds of fracture overall based on exposure to bariatric surgery. Secondary outcomes included the odds of type of fracture (humerus, radius or ulna, pelvis, hip, vertebrae, and total fractures) based on exposure to bariatric surgery. RESULTS A total of 49 113 patients were included and were equally made up of 16 371 bariatric surgery-eligible patients who did not undergo weight loss surgery, 16 371 patients who had undergone RYGB, and 16 371 patients who had undergone SG. Each group consisted of an equal number of 4109 men (25.1%) and 12 262 women (74.9%) and had an equal distribution of ages, with 11 780 patients (72.0%) 64 years or younger, 4230 (25.8%) aged 65 to 69 years, 346 (2.1%) aged 70 to 74 years, and 15 (0.1%) aged 75 to 79 years. Patients undergoing RYGB were found to have no significant difference in odds of fractures compared with bariatric surgery-eligible patients who did not undergo surgery. Patients undergoing undergone SG were found to have decreased odds of fractures of the humerus (odds ratio [OR], 0.57; 95% CI, 0.45-0.73), radius or ulna (OR, 0.38; 95% CI, 0.25-0.58), hip (OR, 0.49; 95% CI, 0.33-0.74), pelvis (OR, 0.34; 95% CI, 0.18-0.64), vertebrae (OR, 0.60; 95% CI, 0.48-0.74), or fractures in general (OR, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.46-0.62). Compared with patients undergoing SG, patients undergoing RYGB had a significantly greater risk of total fractures (OR, 1.79; 95% CI, 1.55-2.06) and humeral fractures (OR, 1.60; 95% CI, 1.24-2.07). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this cohort study, bariatric surgery was associated with a reduced risk of fracture in bariatric surgery-eligible patients. Sleeve gastrectomy might be the best option for weight loss in patients in which fractures could be a concern, as RYGB may be associated with an increased fracture risk compared with SG.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Traditionally, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is diagnosed when there is an early peak in breath hydrogen or methane. Given unclear intestinal transit time in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) patients, it is unknown if the traditional approach at diagnosing SIBO is adequate in this patient population. AIM To assess oral-cecal transit time (OCTT) and its impact on the interpretation of breath tests in the diagnosis of SIBO in patients with RYGB. METHODS This study was a retrospective review of prospectively collected data on RYGB patients who underwent testing for SIBO using lactulose breath test (LBT) with or without small bowel follow-through (SBFT) to assess OCTT. Outcomes of SIBO test based on LBT alone versus LBT with OCTT were compared using a chi-squared test. RESULTS Sixty-two of the 151 RYGB patients who underwent LBT underwent an additional SBFT to assess OCTT. Median OCTT was 60 min. Of these, 59.7% had OCTT shorter than 90 min. Based on LBT alone, 36/62 patients (58.1%) were classified as positive SIBO. When LBT results were combined with OCTT, 26/36 patients (72.2%) had hydrogen or methane rise within OCTT, suggesting 27.8% false positive rate. Patients with true positive SIBO based on LBT and OCTT had a higher response rate to antibiotics compared to those with false positive SIBO (78.3% vs. 33.3%, p = 0.03). CONCLUSION A personalized approach of combining LBT with SBFT to assess OCTT may improve the accuracy of SIBO testing and enhance clinical outcomes in patients with RYGB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bariatric surgery is an effective therapeutic procedure for morbidly obese patients. The 2 most common interventions are sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB). OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare microbiome long-term microbiome after SG and LRYGB surgery in obese patients. SETTING University Hospital, France; University Hospital, United States; and University Hospital, Switzerland. METHODS Eighty-nine and 108 patients who underwent SG and LRYGB, respectively, were recruited. Stools were collected before and 6 months after surgery. Microbial DNA was analyzed with shotgun metagenomic sequencing (SOLiD 5500 xl Wildfire). MSPminer, a novel innovative tool to characterize new in silico biological entities, was used to identify 715 Metagenomic Species Pan-genome. One hundred forty-eight functional modules were analyzed using GOmixer and KEGG database. RESULTS Both interventions resulted in a similar increase of Shannon's diversity index and gene richness of gut microbiota, in parallel with weight loss, but the changes of microbial composition were different. LRYGB led to higher relative abundance of aero-tolerant bacteria, such as Escherichia coli and buccal species, such as Streptococcus and Veillonella spp. In contrast, anaerobes, such as Clostridium, were more abundant after SG, suggesting better conservation of anaerobic conditions in the gut. Enrichment of Akkermansia muciniphila was also observed after both surgeries. Function-level changes included higher potential for bacterial use of supplements, such as vitamin B12, B1, and iron upon LRYGB. CONCLUSION Microbiota changes after bariatric surgery depend on the nature of the intervention. LRYGB induces greater taxonomic and functional changes in gut microbiota than SG. Possible long-term health consequences of these alterations remain to be established.

Abstract
CONTEXT The gut hormones peptide YY (PYY) and ghrelin mediate in part the metabolic benefits of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery. However, preclinical data suggest these hormones also affect the skeleton and could contribute to postoperative bone loss. OBJECTIVE We investigated whether changes in fasting serum total PYY and ghrelin were associated with bone turnover marker levels and loss of bone mineral density (BMD) after RYGB. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS Prospective cohort of adults undergoing RYGB (n=44) at San Francisco academic hospitals. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES We analyzed 6-month changes in PYY, ghrelin, bone turnover markers, and BMD by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and quantitative computed tomography (QCT). We calculated the uncoupling index (UI), reflecting the relative balance of bone resorption and formation. RESULTS Postoperatively, there was a trend for an increase in PYY (+25pg/mL, p=0.07) and a significant increase in ghrelin (+192pg/mL, p<0.01). PYY changes negatively correlated with changes in spine BMD by QCT (r=-0.36, p=0.02) and bone formation marker P1NP (r=-0.30, p=0.05). Relationships were significant after adjustments for age, sex, and weight loss. No consistent relationships were found between ghrelin and skeletal outcomes. Mean 6-month UI was -3.3; UI correlated with spine BMD loss by QCT (r=0.40, p=0.01). CONCLUSIONS Postoperative PYY increases were associated with attenuated increases in P1NP and greater declines in spine BMD by QCT. Uncoupling of bone turnover correlated with BMD loss. These findings suggest a role for PYY in loss of bone mass after RYGB and highlight the relationship between intestinal and skeletal metabolism.

Abstract
Abdominal visceral fat is a well-recognized a risk for colorectal cancer (CRC). In contrast to the risk for CRC, the impact of adiposity in disease staging and patient survival is less well-established. Our aim was to critically review the literature on the influence of adiposity assessed by different methods routinely used in clinical settings, on CRC staging and prognosis. In the 32 studies reviewed, overweight was initially identified as a survival advantage, an evidence that was later challenged by studies suggesting that body adiposity is likely to have a deleterious effect in CRC outcomes, particularly in males. Hence, whether obesity has a negative impact in CRC staging or prognosis remains controversial. In sum, addressing the impact of body fat in CRC biological behavior is still an unmet need. Understanding how adiposity influences CRC staging and prognosis could allow further patient risk stratification for devising targeted interventions and improve clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Introduction: Bariatric surgery is associated with multiple endocrine and metabolic changes. Irisin and nesfatin-1 have recently been described as regulatory peptides involved in obesity-related insulin resistance. Our aim was to analyze the changes of those two molecules observed in patients after bariatric procedures. Materials and methods: This prospective study involved 40 patients treated for morbid obesity. Irisin and nesfatin-1 were measured before, 6 months and 1 year after surgical intervention. We also gathered demographic data, information concerning comorbidities, factors related to the surgery and outcomes of bariatric treatment. Results: Twenty-seven patients completed the study (15 females). The mean age of the group was 43.5 ± 10.4 years. Six (22.2%) patients were submitted to Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy and 21 (77.8%) patients were submitted to Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass. The participants in our study achieved significant weight loss. The irisin level remained stable in the whole study group during all three measurements included in our study protocol (p = .71). Our study group presented a reduction of the nesfatin-1 level 6 months after bariatric surgery and a slight further decrease after one-year observation, although these changes were also not significant (p = .17). Conclusions: We did not find any significant correlation between changes of irisin or nesfatin-1 level and bariatric surgery, as an aid in the regulation of glucose metabolism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is effective for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus; however, the mechanism remains unclear. METHODS The effects of RYGB on postprandial responses to three different diets (low carbohydrate (CH)-rich diet, high CH-rich diet, and fat-rich diet) of different nutritional composition in a Goto-Kakizaki (GK) diabetic rat model were assessed by measuring glucose tolerance, insulin resistance, incretin responses, and bile acid (BA) metabolism. RESULTS GK-RYGB group rats lost weight and preferred low CH-rich diet, but there were no significant differences in BW among the different diets. Glucose tolerance and insulin resistance were improved in rats who underwent RYGB, together with higher levels of circulating BAs, plasma GLP-1, and PYY levels. GK-RYGB rats fed high CH-rich or fat-rich diet showed increased glucose level and insulin resistance, together with high plasma BA, GIP, and PYY levels compared to those fed a low CH-rich diet. CONCLUSION RYGB improves glucose tolerance and insulin resistance which may be related to BA metabolism and hormone levels, and the nutrient composition of the diet affects the treatment effect of RYGB on T2DM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Doubts exist about the effect of different bariatric surgery (BS) types on levothyroxine (Lt4) absorption. We compared Lt4 doses and their variation (ΔLt4) in patients with hypothyroidism that underwent malabsorptive (MS) or restrictive (RS) surgery and studied predictors of Lt4 dose change. METHODS Retrospective study of morbidly obese hypothyroid patients submitted to BS. We compared RS ("sleeve" gastrectomy or adjustable gastric banding) with MS (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass) patients. We built a multivariable logistic regression and a linear regression model to study predictors of Lt4 dose changes and ΔLt4, respectively. RESULTS Fifty-seven patients: 35 MS and 22 RS. Mean age 47 years; 7% men. Patients submitted to MS had lower BMI at 1 year than those submitted to RS. Lt4 dose remained unchanged in 61.4%, increased in 12.3%, and decreased in 26.3% of patients. Initial and 1-year Lt4 dose were not different between surgical groups. Relative Lt4 dose, but not absolute (p = 0.07), increased at 1 year (p < 0.001). Neither BS nor BMI variation were predictors of Lt4 dose variation. BMI variation was associated with relative Lt4 dose change independently of initial BMI and BS type: β (95%CI) - 0.03 (- 0.05; 0.00); p = 0.03. CONCLUSIONS There were no differences in Lt4 dose and its variation between restrictive and malabsorptive techniques 1 year after surgery. Malabsorptive procedures may not affect Lt4 absorption differently from restrictive ones. Bariatric surgery type was not predictive of Lt4 dose changes. BMI variation is associated with relative Lt4 dose (dose per weight) variation and its association was independent of bariatric surgery type.

Abstract
Obesity is a growing public health problem worldwide. Bariatric surgical procedures achieve the most sustainable and efficacious outcomes in the treatment of morbid obesity. However, little is known about the underlying molecular pathways modulated by these surgical interventions. Since leptin resistance is implicated in the pathogenesis of obesity, we herein report the effects of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on the serum levels of leptin and leptin receptor, in addition to its overall effect on leptin resistance. This was an interventional and follow-up clinical study. In the first part, patients attending the general surgery outpatient clinics at our university hospital were first stratified according to their Body-Mass Index (BMI) into cases (n = 38) with BMI ≥ 35 who were scheduled to undergo LSG, and controls (n = 75) with a normal BMI. Serum leptin and leptin receptor levels were measured by sandwich ELISA technique. A leptin resistance index was estimated by adjusting leptin to BMI ratio to leptin receptor concentration. In the second part of the study, cases who underwent LSG were followed up one year postoperatively to assess their BMI and serum leptin and leptin receptor levels. Leptin to BMI ratio was significantly higher, while serum leptin receptor was significantly lower, in obese patients compared to controls. This translated into a significantly higher leptin resistance index in obese patients. LSG resulted in a significant reduction of BMI, leptin to BMI ratio, and leptin resistance index, as it significantly increased leptin receptor levels. In conclusion, LSG showed significant decrease in leptin resistance in obese patients after one year. Further studies are needed to determine the clinical impact of this finding on LSG outcomes.

Abstract
The biology of autophagy in health and disease conditions has been intensively analyzed for decades. Several potential interventions can induce autophagy in preclinical research; however, none of these interventions are ready for translation to clinical practice yet. The topic of the current review is the molecular regulation of autophagy by glucagon, glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 and the GLP-1-degrading enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4). Glucagon is a well-known polypeptide that induces autophagy. In contrast, GLP-1 has been shown to inhibit glucagon secretion; GLP-1 also has been related to the induction of autophagy. DPP-4 inhibitors can induce autophagy in a GLP-1-dependent manner, but other diverse effects could be relevant. Here, we analyze the distinct molecular regulation of autophagy by glucagon, GLP-1, and DPP-4 inhibitors. Additionally, the potential contribution to autophagy by glucagon and GLP-1 after bariatric surgery is discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is a risk factor for colorectal cancer and possibly the formation of precancerous, colorectal polyps . Bariatric surgery is very effective for long-term weight loss; however, it is not known whether bariatric surgery decreases the risk of subsequent colonic neoplasia. We hypothesized that bariatric surgery would decrease the risk of developing colorectal lesions (new cancer and precancerous polyps). METHODS We reviewed all patients (n = 3,676) who underwent bariatric surgery (gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, or gastric banding) at the University of Virginia (Charlottesville, VA) 1985-2015. Obese, nonoperative patients (n = 46,873) from an institutional data repository were included as controls. Cases and controls were propensity score matched 1:1 by demographics, comorbidities, body mass index, and socioeconomic factors. The matched cohort was compared by univariate analysis and conditional logistic regression. RESULTS A total of 4,462 patients (2,231 per group) with a median follow-up of 7.8 years were well-matched with no statistically significant baseline differences in initial body mass index (48 vs 49 kg/m2), sex, and age in addition to other comorbidities (all P > .05). The operative cohort had more weight loss (55.5% vs -1.4% decrease in excess body mass index, P < .0001). The operative cohort developed fewer colorectal lesions (2.4% vs 4.8%, P < .0001). We observed no differences in polyp characteristics or staging for patients who developed cancer (all P > .05). After risk adjustment, bariatric surgery was independently associated with a decrease in new colorectal lesions (OR 0.62, 95% CI 0.42-0.91, P = .016). CONCLUSION Bariatric surgery was associated with lesser, risk-adjusted incidence of new colorectal lesions in this large population of propensity matched patients undergoing bariatric surgery compared with a control group not undergoing bariatric surgery. These results suggest the benefits of bariatric surgery may extend beyond weight loss and mitigation of comorbidities.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Food intolerance is expected during the postoperative period following gastric bypass and may be associated with inadequate chewing. OBJECTIVE To evaluate chewing before and after speech therapy intervention in subjects undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass who present with food intolerance. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a randomized controlled trial, approved by the Brazilian Ethics and Research Committee under n. 438,600. The study population was allocated into two groups: the study group (SG), who received speech therapy intervention, and the control group (CG), who did not receive any intervention, in six visits at 7, 15, 30, 60, and 90 days (v7, v15, v30, v60, and v90) after the initial visit (v0). During v0 and v90, a chewing evaluation was performed according to the MBGR protocol adapted. The significance level adopted was 5%. RESULTS A total of 30 females (88%) and 4 males (12%) were analyzed. The SG had 18 subjects, and the CG had 16, with mean ages of 50.17 ± 12.28 years and 45.69 ± 9.78 years, respectively. The postoperative time ranged from 4 to19 months. In the SG, a marked improvement in the number of episodes of food intolerance was observed (p < 0.001), an improvement in the intake of cereals and meats (p = 0.004 and p < 0.001, respectively), and an improvement in chewing capacity and swallowing (p = 0.002 and p = 0.011, respectively). CONCLUSION Speech therapy intervention in chewing led to a marked improvement of food acceptance and food intolerance resulting from Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

Abstract
PURPOSE Undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is expected to affect orally administered drug absorption. Statins are commonly prescribed to patients with obesity for the prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases by lowering cholesterol. This is the first longitudinal prospective study on impacts of RYGB on weight loss, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics of atorvastatin, rosuvastatin, and simvastatin, and their active metabolites, up to 1-year post-surgery. METHODS Forty-six patients were recruited, five patients on atorvastatin, twelve on rosuvastatin, nine on simvastatin, and twenty on no statin. The concentrations of atorvastatin, rosuvastatin, and simvastatin with their active metabolites were monitored. RESULTS Mean plasma concentrations of atorvastatin and metabolites and rosuvastatin normalized by the unit dose [(nM)/(mg/kg)] decreased by 3- to 6-month post-surgery. Conversely, simvastatin and its metabolite concentrations increased up to 6-month post-surgery, then declined to preoperative levels by 1-year post-surgery. The metabolisms of atorvastatin to hydroxyl-metabolites and simvastatin to simvastatin acid were decreased after RYGB. The weight loss and PD outcomes were comparable between statin and non-statin groups suggesting the key impacts were from RYGB. The discontinuation or reduction of dose of atorvastatin or rosuvastatin post-RYGB exhibited rebounds of LDL levels in some subjects, but the rebound was not apparent with patients on simvastatin pre-surgery. CONCLUSION Discontinuations of statin dosing post-RYGB require LDL monitoring and reducing the dose to half seems to have better results. Patients on statin treatment post-RYGB should be followed-up closely based on our pharmacokinetic findings, to ensure therapeutic effects of the treatment with minimal adverse effects.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery is associated with significant and sustained weight loss and improved metabolic outcomes. It is unclear if weight loss alone is the main mechanism of improved metabolic health. The purpose of this trial was to compare indices of appetite regulation, insulin sensitivity and energy intake (EI) between participants achieving 10 kg of weight loss via Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) or dietary restriction (DIET); intake of a very low calorie liquid diet (800 kcal/d; 40% protein, 40% fat, 20% carbohydrate that matched the post-RYGB dietary protocol). Adults qualifying for bariatric surgery were studied before and after 10 kg of weight loss (RYGB [n = 6]) or DIET [n = 17]). Appetite (hunger, satiety, and prospective food consumption [PFC]), appetite-related hormones, and metabolites (ghrelin, PYY, GLP-1, insulin, glucose, free fatty acids [FFA], and triglycerides [TG]) were measured in the fasting state and every 30 min for 180 min following breakfast. Participants were provided lunch to evaluate acute ad libitum EI, which was similarly reduced in both groups from pre to post weight loss. Fasting ghrelin was reduced to a greater extent following RYGB compared to DIET (P = 0.04). Area under the curve (AUC) for ghrelin (P = 0.01), hunger (P < 0.01) and PFC (P < 0.01) increased after DIET compared to RYGB, following 10 kg weight loss. Satiety AUC increased after RYGB and decreased after DIET (P < 0.01). Glucose and insulin (fasting and AUC) decreased in both groups. FFA increased in both groups, with a greater increase in AUC seen after RYGB versus DIET (P = 0.02). In summary, appetite-related indices were altered in a manner that, if maintained, may promote a sustained reduction in energy intake with RYGB compared to DIET. Future work with a larger sample size and longer follow-up will be important to confirm and extend these findings.

Abstract
Levothyroxine, a largely prescribed drug with a narrow therapeutic index, is often a lifelong treatment. The therapeutic efficacy of T4 may be marred by behavioral, pharmacologic, and pathologic issues acting as interfering factors. Despite a continuous search for an optimal T4 treatment, a significant number of patients fail to show a complete chemical and/or clinical response to this reference dose of T4. Gastrointestinal malabsorption of oral T4 represents an emerging cause of refractory hypothyroidism and may be more frequent than previously reputed. In this review, we examine the pharmacologic features of T4 preparations and their linkage with the intestinal absorption of the hormone. We have stressed the major biochemical and pharmacologic characteristics of T4 and its interaction with the putative transporter at the intestinal level. We have examined the interfering role of nutrients, foods, and drugs on T4 absorption at the gastric and intestinal levels. The impact of gastrointestinal disorders on T4 treatment efficacy has been also analyzed, in keeping with the site of action and the interfering mechanisms. Based on the evidence obtained from the literature, we also propose a schematic diagnostic workup for the most frequent and often hidden gastrointestinal diseases impairing T4 absorption.

Abstract
Introduction Bariatric weight loss surgery is one of the most effective treatments for severe obesity. Research shows that the availability of healthcare services pre and post bariatric surgery improves behavioural change and weight loss outcomes. The aim of this systematic review is to assess the evidence relating to the use of telemedicine for providing health services to bariatric surgery patients. Methods A search was conducted using PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycNET and SCOPUS. Original research relating to telemedicine for bariatric surgery patients published in peer-reviewed journals were included. Results Database search returned 258 references and a total of 10 studies were included in the review. Six studies assessed use, feasibility and acceptance of telemedicine by patients/practitioners. Studies also examined the use of telemedicine for weight loss, changes in physical activity, diet/eating or other behavioural changes. Two studies were randomised controlled trials; one showed a significant difference in outcomes between intervention and control group. Discussion This review suggests that telemedicine may be a potential method for providing healthcare services to bariatric surgery patients. However, the current evidence base does not allow for definitive conclusions.

Abstract
Apart from well-known functions of bile acids in digestion and solubilization of lipophilic nutrients and drugs in the small intestine, the emerging evidence from the past two decades identified the role of bile acids as signaling, endocrine molecules that regulate the glucose, lipid, and energy metabolism through complex and intertwined pathways that are largely mediated by activation of nuclear receptor farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and cell surface G protein-coupled receptor 1, TGR5 (also known as GPBAR1). Interactions of bile acids with the gut microbiota that result in the altered composition of circulating and intestinal bile acids pool, gut microbiota composition and modified signaling pathways, are further extending the complexity of biological functions of these steroid derivatives. Thus, bile acids signaling pathways have become attractive targets for the treatment of various metabolic diseases and metabolic syndrome opening the new potential avenue in their treatment. In addition, there is a significant effort to unveil some specific properties of bile acids relevant to their intrinsic potency and selectivity for particular receptors and to design novel modulators of these receptors with improved pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles. This resulted in synthesis of few semi-synthetic bile acids derivatives such as 6α-ethyl-chenodeoxycholic acid (obeticholic acid, OCA), norursodeoxycholic acid (norUDCA), and 12-monoketocholic acid (12-MKC) that are proven to have positive effect in metabolic and hepato-biliary disorders. This review presents an overview of the current knowledge related to bile acids implications in glucose, lipid and energy metabolism, as well as a potential application of bile acids in metabolic syndrome treatment with future perspectives.

Abstract
Introduction A meta-analysis was conducted in order to provide an up-to-date comparison of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic gastric plication (LGP) for morbid obesity. Materials and Methods The PRISMA guidelines and the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions were used for the conduction of this study. A systematic literature search was performed in the electronic databases (MEDLINE, CENTRAL, and Web of Science and Scopus). The fixed effects or random effects model was used according to the Cochran Q test. Results Totally, 12 eligible studies were extracted. LSG displayed a statistically significant lower rate of overall complications (OR: 0.35; 95% CI: 0.17, 0.68; p=0.002) and a sustainable higher %EWL through all time endpoints (OR: 4.86, p=0.04; OR: 7.57, p < 0.00001; and OR: 13.74; p < 0.00001). There was no difference between the two techniques in terms of length of hospital stay (p=0.16), operative duration (p=0.81), reoperation rate (p=0.51), and cost (p=0.06). Conclusions LSG was demonstrated to have a lower overall complications and a higher weight loss rate, when compared to LGP. Further RCTs of a higher methodological quality level, with a larger sample size, are required in order to validate these findings.

Abstract
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass results in large and sustained weight loss and resolution of type 2 diabetes in 60% of cases at 1-2 years. In addition to calorie restriction and weight loss, various gastro-intestinal mediated mechanisms, independent of weight loss, also contribute to glucose control. The anatomical re-arrangement of the small intestine after gastric bypass results in accelerated nutrient transit, enhances the release of post-prandial gut hormones incretins and of insulin, alters the metabolism and the entero-hepatic cycle of bile acids, modifies intestinal glucose uptake and metabolism, and alters the composition and function of the microbiome. The amelioration of beta cell function after gastric bypass in individuals with type 2 diabetes requires enteric stimulation. However, beta cell function in response to intravenous glucose stimulus remains severely impaired, even in individuals in full clinical diabetes remission. The permanent impairment of the beta cell may explain diabetes relapse years after surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Owing to its impact on weight loss, remission of diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome, bariatric surgery has offered hope for grossly obese individuals. In recent years, obesity has increased in the UAE and the use of bariatric surgery has increased in-line with this trend. However, data regarding bariatric surgery outcomes in diabetic Emirati people is scarce. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of bariatric surgery in patients with diabetes mellitus. METHODS This is a retrospective analysis of diabetic patients treated with bariatric surgery with a minimal follow-up of 1 year and extended for some patients (21) to 2 years follow up. A total of 80 patients underwent bariatric surgery. Two surgical procedures were used; laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (n=53) or mini-gastric bypass between January 1, 2015, and July 20, 2017. RESULTS Mean baseline weight was 119.2±31.2 kg, this has significantly dropped to 100.1±23.1, 91.2±22.3, 82.3±17.5, and 81.3±15.3 kg at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months respectively, and this change was statistically significant P<0.001 at each time point. Mean baseline HbA1c was 8.6% ± 2.3% and this dropped significantly to 6.5±1.7, 5.9±1.2, 5.6±0.8, and 5.4±0.7 at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months respectively (P<0.000). In 49 (61.3%) we considered fatty liver based on ultrasound features either with or without elevation in alanine aminotransferase (ALT). We noticed a significant decrease in ALT at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. Furthermore, 11 patients (22.4%) showed sonographic features of improvement in fatty liver in addition to normalization of ALT. CONCLUSIONS Bariatric surgery was effective over a follow-up period of 2 years in achieving significant weight loss as well as resulting in improvements in glycemic control, blood pressure, and fatty liver.
